It was a warui evening iu early June, and in the parlor of a pleasant house iu street, in the handsome city of Philadelphia,' a ;merry party of young fetus were holding a warw; laughing dis ousmion. Susy Arnold, the young hostess, who kept house for her brothers, Harry and George, took one side of the question, white three other gentlemen, besides her tall brothers, opposed her. Charles Gray, a blue eyed, curly-headed man, whose fair, round face and boyish air formed an apparent contradiction to the assertion he wade of having, lire years before attained his majority ;''Jue. Norris, who from a Spanish mother inherited jetty hair and eyes, and pale complexion, and from his father, a tall, fit figure and frank ingen ions expressi , on; and Milton Dacres, whose small figure and bashful ways, ac counted fully for his nickname Minnie; these three, with the amaiers of the house, waged_ playful war upon the little brown eyed maiden who sat so demurely upon the sofa. "Say what you please," said Susy, "you will never convince me of the superiority of man in . the capacity of housekeeper." "But I maintain," said Joe, "that men can keep house without mitten, but that women cannot do so unless we will assist them!' "For instance," said. Harry, "when your hircd girl was sick last winter, Sue, how would such a mite as you have bro't uo coal, kept up thu furnace fire, and lifted about wood, unless your two broth ers had gallantly relieved you of the care ?" "Not to wention that the furnace fire went out tbree "A truce," said George, laughing.-• "That was my fault, but accidents will happen in the best regulated families." "I only wish you could keep house; for I would accept Aunt Jane's invitation to travel with her this summer, were it not for leaving you." "I have ,an idea" cried Charles Gray— "an idea , Which, if you will agree to act upon it, shall fully cure the svoinen.of the insane notion of their indispensibility ahem ! that word nearly choked we." "The ndgalltint sentence should have quite strangled you," said Susy. "Present euwpauy always excepted," was the reply "The idea I let's have the idea." "Suppose 4e keep house here, while 3liss Susy travels." "Here!" crie4 Susy aghast. "Yes,- w - hy, uut 7" "But," said Susy, "I'm sure Jenny would not stay." "We duu't want her; we want no wo men." IMMENii Visions )f muddy boots on her parlor sofas, cigars in the flower vases, pipes on 'the centre tables, spittoons in the best bed-rooms, and frying pans in the library, flitted through the young lady's mind; but before ehe could remonstrate, Harry said "So be it ! Hurrah for bachelor's hall. Pack up your trutik, Susy !" "But, Harry—" "Glorious I" cried Charles, "not a pet ticoat within the doors for a month." "But," again said poor Susy. "No fusses about tobacco awoke in the curtains,"' chiwed in George. "But, brother—" "Won't it:be n•ay ?" said Minnie. "Gay !".groaned the little housekeeper.

"Then on Monday morning we will come, bag and baggage." With many a flourish, atnidst, the gay est jokes, George wrote out a solemn con. tract, by which they bound themselves to ask no service of arry kind 'at a wowac's hand for one month froth the date of the following Monday, June,lB6o. and all put their signatures to the important docu ment. Susy seeing that her brothers were really in earnest, tried to think that she was glad to go; and added her laughing directions to the many schemes propose" . At a late hour the conclave broke up, and Susy retired with a head full of sore mis givings. Monday morning rose fair and clear. Six o'clock saw Susy drive away from the door in a carriage, the trunk strapped behind, the lady's pretty travelling dress and the shawl of her cousin and caviller all bespeaking travel. Susy saw the ser vant depart to spend a month with her mother in the country. Nine o'clock witnessed the meeting of the- young bachelors. "Now then," said George, after the first greetings were over, "I, as the eldest host, will take charge today. As Susy says, when are you going down town ?" "I have nothing to do to-day, so I'll stay to assist you," said Minnie. "Thank you." "What's for dinner e said Joe, trying to look like the head of a respectable family. and tailing most deplorably in theatteuipt. "You'll see at three o'clock." "Is that the how ?" "Yes, and remember I wait for no one. Punctuality is the soul of dinner, as some body. once said before I mentioned the fact." Having seen the others off, George aad Minnie went into the library for a smoke, to prepare them for the Herculean task before them. "See, we are safe," said George, pro ducing a cook book. "111 rs. Hale ! that's a woman !" cried "Whew ! never once thought of that. We will stick to tite contract. My dear =dm, I am sorry to appear rude, but I must showyou back to the book case." "What's for dinner ?" said Minnie, "Roast lawb, potatoes, green pons, as paragus, and strawberries." "That'll do. Don't you have to shell peas or sowetbing "Yes, that's easy enough." "It's awful hot," said Minnie, after a short silence. "Horrid !" "Suppose we shell the peas up here. It's cooler here than in the kitchen. I suppsse there's a fire there." "Of course." 'l'll go bring them up." -"They're in a basket on the table. Just leave the rest of the thins down there." 'Shelling peas was rapid work, even for unaccustomed fingers; but it is a matter of taste whether the thorough .smoking they tn.d from the actively puffed cigars improved their flavor. "Now what do you do with them," said r • Minnie. "There ain't many of them," he added, as he looked at the little green balls roll ing about at the bottom of the huge mar ket basket and then eyed the large pile of shells on the floor. "You boil them, of course," was the answer of George. "Then suppose we go doWn." "Well, conic along," said George, tak ing un the baskst.. The fire burned brightly ; Jennie bad left all in good order, and the proqect was nut bad for the amateur cooks." "What do you boil them iu, George.?" '.oh, anything." "But where is it?" "In sonic of the closets, I guess." Susy would surely have fainted could she have seen the overhauling of her neatly arranged closets that followed. "This ?" Minnie dragged forth a pot, large enough to buil about twenty pounds of meat in. - 'Yes.' In they went, 'unwashed. 'Hot water or cold ?' 'Either.' 'All right; that's done.' 'Now the asparagus ; how do you fit it?' 'I wonder if you roast mutton in this thing!' said George,, holding up a large pudding dish. 'I guess so. . You put it in the oven, ¬ you ?' • George determined to find a book on cookery written by a man, the very next day. 'You boil asparagus, don't you George?' 'Yes, here's a tin thing that's long end shallow ; I guess that's for such things.' And a. dripping pan came forth from- the closet. The asparagus fitted in like a charm, as both men declared, add crater was added and all set.on the range. _ ' The mutton next went, on,the pudding 'dish, into the oven. 'Come let's go up stairs again , it's fear- fully hot 'down here,' said George. glut the clamor ?' "Oh, that's got nothing to do but to 'cook until three welock: 'Oh, George, here,s the potatoes Another put was procured, and the po tatoes, with about two gallons of water to the half peck of igurphies, put on the fire. Smoking, °baiting, reading, and a little practtce on the violin, filled up the morn ing, though George declared it was bor. rid dull, and Minnie wondered what. on earth women did fiv tt h themselves. Half past two brought home three hun gry men to dinner. Leaving tlie conks to 'dish up,' they all adjourned to the parlorto cool themselves. That it was dusty there, was not noticed. Jennie had made the beds before she left, but dusting the parlors was Susy:s work, and her early start had prevented her from doing it. 'George'—pinkie's voice was rather doleful. 'What!' 'The fire is out.' 'Out!' wonder if anything is cooked? 'The asparagus is t urnt fast to the pan.' 'Su is the meat !' 'The potatoes!' 'Broken all to pieces, floating about in the water.' 'The peas are all mushy, Minnie!' 'Punctuality is the soul - of dinner,' cried Joe, from the parlor; it's ten min utes past three.' 'Go set the table,' growled George. It was unique in its arrangements, that table, as the'g,entleuien sat down to dinner. The meat figured on au enormous dish, with at, ocean of white china surrounding its shrunken proportions. The potatoes, in little lumps, unskined, were piled up in a fruit dish ; the green mass which Minnie had with infinite difficulty fished from the meat pot, was served on a red earthen plate, and the stalks of asparagus were in the salad bowl I The table-cloth was awry, and the napkins were omitted altogether. 'Where's the giavy ?' was Joe's first question. 'There wasn't any'" 'The meat is burned,' cried one voice 'lt's stone cold, cried another. 'What's this r said another,. digging into The pile of peas. 'Fungi; !' followed a daring attempt to eat some asparagus. " 'Never mind,' said Joe. Rome was net built in a day. Give us some bread and butter, and pickles, George.' 'Nu, nut pickles, preserves,' said Char ley.' 'Susy locked both up,' said Harry, laughing. •She declared a woman put them up, and .that if w‘t wanted theta we must prepare them for ourselves.' ' Minnie produced the strawberries and some sugar, and the gentlemen declared they had dived superbly. 'You fellows clear away,' said Minnie, 'we're tired.' `You wash up, don't yon ?' queried Joe. 'Yes.' 'W here's, the water?' 'ln the hydrant.' 'What do yoo wash 'em in ?' 'Pan, I guess.' ' Away - went Joe on a voyage of inves tigation, and returned soon with a tin dish full of cold water. The 'leavings,' as Harry termed the remains of the sumptu ous dinner, were thrown from the window into F)usys flower beds, and armed with a bar of soap and a fine damask. table nap kin, Joe began to wash up. ' 'How the grease sticks !' Perspiration streaming from every pore, he rubbed wanfully at the greasy plates and dishes, and if the water was cold, he certainly was not. have wet my shirt front!' Splash No. 1!. 'Good for white pants!' Splash No. 2. 'Phut went into my eyes somebody wipe them, my hands are wet. Don't rub them 'out, Hai l' The table was cleared at last. Five damp, greasy napkins thrown into a cor ner of the room, testified that the dishes were washed and-wiped. The water fol lowed the leavings, and the quintet . sat down . to cool off. (Do cigars assist that operation ?) ,Spite of the superb dinner, five 'inner men' 'called, like Oliver Twist, for more, at about 7 o'clock. 'What's for tea ?' Four voices echoed it. 'Let's have coffee; I cau wake coffee,' said George. 'And a steak . I can cook it,' cried Joe. 'There's bread and butter,' said Harrv. George weft for the steak; Zlinnie un dertook to make the fire; Harty cut the brerd; Joe set the table ; while Charley cleared the kitchen by sweepitig, the pots and pans used at dinner in a.closet, wash ing being omitted in the operation. Minnie, blowing_ and puffing waking the fire, was sainted with— 'How it stookeg !' !What ails thib.fire May Harry discovered tht► caoe, Utit the damper, and a merry blaze repaid him. The coffee boiled; the steak sputtered in the pan, and the men panted, perspired; whistled, and used irepiopei words civet the heat. . It was a good supper, and piling up the dishes—it Was too hot to wash them— the five bachelors _returned to the pailor. It was involuntary, but each pair - of eyes rested fora moment on the . keat usy , Was Wont to occupy. A little music, more talking, and ktill more Snicking filled the time till midnight, when each one yatined himself off to bed. Harry, who was the one to lock up, was the latest... The kitch en lookdd dreary; no fire, the greasy, fry ing pan pla - ced as a helmet over the' coffee pot, bits et bread Nina about loose, dirty puts here and dirty dishes 'thire. 'The parlor Was in disorder; chairs stood in forlorn confusion; smoke hung over, all The dining room, with its piles of dirty cups, saucers and plates, its unswept &Or, greasy napkins, and smoky atmosphere, was worst of all, and Harry inwardly ad mitted that somehow the house did not look as comfortable as usual. There was fun the nest morning wak ing up the beds. The milkman and ba ker bad vainly knocked for admittance; and finally retired in disgust, and the bachelors breakfasted off the stale- bread left from the night's feast, nod the Coffee black and sweet 'Every wan clear up his own room.' The order given, each started to 'obey. Joe pulled aff the clothes from his bed, and having laid the bolster and pillow on, proceeded to put on first a blanket, next a spread, and finally the two sheets, fin. fishing oh the whole by putting himself on the top to rest from histoils. Minnie, after pulling all the clothes off oh one side in trying to tuck I thaw in on the other, and then correcting the mistake by tucking them in on' - the Other, side and pulling them off the first, put his bolster on over the pillows, and concluded it would do. Charley merely suioth'ed his down, sagely observing that if he pulled the things off he never could put; them on again. Harry and George, who shared the same room, having followed Churley's plan„put on an extra touch by sweeping the room, and leaving a pile of dust lying in the middle of the eotrv. Three day's experience convinced them that bachelors' cookery was slow itarva thin. Steaks and coffee for breakfast were follow :•d by coffee and steaks for dinner,, and both for tea. Charley sug gested that they should have their meals sent front a restaurant. 4.11 -atm cooks, so we stick to the con crt,' was his final observation The motion was seconded and carried by a unanimous vote. By this tithe every dish, plate. napkin, pot and pan in the house was dirty, and joyfully concluding that they wouldn'-t want them any more, the gentlemen piled them up iu the kitchen sink, on the floor and table, and left them. 'Elarry'—it was George's voice—'l haven't got a clean shirt.' 'Nor 'Nor I.' 'Nor I:' 'l've got one.' 'Nor a handkerchief, nor a collar, nor a pair of stockings, nor—' 'Stop ! Two weeks since Susy went, and no washing day !' There was a dead silence. .Wito knows how to wash r No answer sc'en it done,' said one faint voice, owned - by Charley. 'You soap the things and rub 'em on a board.' 'Can anybody iron ?' They all thodght they could manage that part. The kitchen was opened for the first time for ten days. One cry burst from five pair of lips. Tables, chairs, floor, dresser, sink, were one mass of roaches, collected by the greasy dishes. They overran every place. 'Shut the door. Now for it,' cried George. and dashed at the invaders. Bed lam seemed to have broken loose. In reaching after one of the 'crittels' Charley upset the table. Crash went the crockery. Screams of laughter, cries of disgust, blows thick as hail, comments on the heat, jokes, and warnings flew about for an hour, and then the panting partyl'eeased from their labors, and viewed sternly the 'cold corpuses' of their foes. A scream from Minnie— 'There's one down my back I George cried—'.Toe, there's one on your hair 'Don't mention it. took at the, fellow on your shirt sleeve.' " • A general %tampede for the bath root followed. 'Let's wash up he:e.' No sooner said than done. The soiled clothes were collected from all tht6voms, and the boards and soap brought Up from the kitchen.
